      I think it's helpful for me to put it like when one can quantity things fruitfully it's great to do that but a lot of the time people can do better by qualitative or even just immersive methods of coming to understanding

      my objection is to preferring shitty quantitative methods to reasonably good alternatives just for the sake of being Scientific

      i love this my first year the econometricians made a pitch to students to specialize in metrics "we're where the rubber hits the road! we actually find evidence for which model to use" game theorist, slyly: "only if our theories are falsifiable"

      Idk, I still have Thoughts™ though. Like, yeah, "regression" often can't distinguish between equally relevant theories, but that doesn't mean it can't make useful predictions. (I use regression very loosely to mean approximately fitting any model to data; e.g., like sys id)

      I think I agree with the general sentiment of "look, we can pretend to interpret regression results, but we shouldn't delude ourselves that this is understanding"

          Oh, man, that's for sure. I have some fun Big Tecc stories of this as well, but that might need more drinks than I (or anyone) should be having at 10AM.
